5M+ digital nomads and solo entrepreneurs globally
The Problem

Solo entrepreneurs and digital nomads working on their own projects face chronic isolation and lack in-person collaboration with ambitious peers. Traditional coworking spaces lack the deep social connection and accountability that comes from living and building alongside like-minded founders. Finding or creating these 'hacker house' environments requires significant coordination effort with no central platform to facilitate discovery or matchmaking.

Potential Solution

A platform that matches entrepreneurs based on location preferences, project types, and working styles to form or join collaborative living arrangements. Features include verified profiles of builders, space listings (from single rooms to mansions), matchmaking algorithms for compatible housemates, integrated communication tools, and a network of established hacker houses across cities. Members can discover existing spaces or find co-founders to start new ones together.

Why Now?

Remote work normalization has created a massive population of location-independent builders seeking meaningful in-person connection. The rise of indie hackers, solopreneurs, and bootstrap culture has created demand for affordable alternatives to isolated remote work while maintaining flexibility.

Trying to understand if other digital nomads feel isolation too.
Nov 7, 2025

Hello, I'm working on my own business for 1.5 years now. Since then I embraced the digital nomad lifestyle somewhat but never fully committed to it. I basically travelled to one place and then ended up back where I started after a couple of months. My issue was that whenever you travel somewhere you are at a metaphorically blank page. If you like that good for you. For me I'm open to meet new people but it's an effort in a city where you never set foot before. Once around 3-5 years ago I met a founder called Jan. He had what I would call the solution to this problem which never really left me but I never decided to act on it until today. He was living in shared flat somewhere in Berlin with 3-4 other builders in a apartment which had a big living room, workstations setup and was just living the builders life but not in isolation but rather with other like-minded people. Now I had that every now and then but usually I work from home, sometimes in a co working space but none of these environments are very socially Inducive. As entrepreneur/builder or whatever you wanna call yourself you already commit to a life where you spent most of your time working alone on your idea/agency/projects. I want to replicate what I experienced a couple of years ago. I created a "manifesto" where I describe that experience and my ask is simple: I'm looking for 1-2 entrepreneurs who are open to join this experiment. If you see yourself in this document then hit me up with the contact details seen in the link. P.S Warsaw was one of the option's I found interesting but I'm open to other cities.

Looking for a Partner to Learn and Build in E-Commerce
r/smallbusinessNov 7, 2025

Hey everyone, I’m 21 and from Germany. I’m completely new to e-commerce and currently learning the basics step by step. I was wondering how beginners usually find people to learn and stay accountable with. Do most of you learn completely solo, or are there communities where people connect and build together? I’d really appreciate any advice from those who started from scratch 🙏

Place where crack ppl can come and build something/
Nov 7, 2025

I was watching nikhil kamath and one guy suggest "NRI City" Idea **Concept:** Dedicated innovation hubs for returning global talent * High quality of life (staff, affordability) + global collaboration * "A hacker house in SF → a mansion in Bangalore" * **Challenge:** Needs critical mass of like-minded builders * **Key metric:** Density of ambition, not population size Well i don't have mansion but i have small empty room where atleast 5 crack ppl can come and work on there own projects. It would be good idea to start with small room where 5 pepole can work and if it works then later increase to mansion or proper NRI CITY? Or this is just stupid because this remind me of Silicon Valley Erlich Bachman hous but it was too big.
